PUPILS in Coventry who won a police competition to design posters to combat antisocial behaviour were rewarded with a tour of the Ricoh Arena.

Pupils from Edgwick and Broad Heath community primary schools in Foleshill were asked to design posters against graffiti, litter, underage drinking and criminal damage, with the winning entries being displayed on Travel Coventry buses across the city.

The competition was run by officers based at Stoney Stanton Road police station. Police and community support officers have visited primary schools in Coventry, speaking to more than 100 ten and 11-year-olds. Role plays and demonstrations helped the children understand the effects of anti-social behaviour on their lives.

PC Jerome Moran, from Foleshill neighbourhood policing team, said: “All the children who have taken part in this project have worked extremely hard.”
